The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) on Wednesday said it will continue with its anti-migrant labourers drive to regulate entry of migrant labourers in the state.
The Khasi Students' Union (KSU) has announced plans to continue and intensify checks on non-tribal labourers if the government fails to address their demands for implementing a proper influx mechanism, particularly the Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security Act, 2016.
The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) on Tuesday sent away more than 26 non-tribal labourers who lacked work permits while working on the Nongstoiñ-Rambrai-Kyrshai road project.
Paliar made the statement while accompanying two KSU members, Malki Circle President Iashan Mukhim and Assistant General Secretary Mavian Jyrwa, who were summoned to the Sadar Police Station following a suo motu FIR filed against them.
According to KSU Nongthymmai's vice president, Richard Mawkhiew, the manner in which the police arrested Nongkhlaw in the middle of the night made it seem like he was part of a militant group.
Addressing the media after a cabinet meeting, Sangma first clarified there is “no work permit” in the state for migrant workers, but there is a “mandatory registration” of such workers with the Labour department.
